NFL, World Cup & William Hill Ayr Gold Cup – September preview

The US Open tennis dominates the early part of September, where Andy Murray will look to defend the title he won so memorably last year, and of course Serena Williams will again look to retain one of her many Grand Slams.

We stay in the States for the next major highlight of the month when the new NFL season kicks-off.

The Baltimore Ravens won a thrilling Super Bowl in February, but it's the Denver Broncos who are fancied to lift the Vince Lombardi trophy this time around.

At William Hill we of course bring you a huge range of markets on every game, produce Headline Offers on the live action and do Bet Bundles where we round selected favourites and boost their price.

Closely following the return of the NFL is the resumption of the World Cup qualifiers, and England have work to do if they're to get to Brazil.

The Three Lions, along with the other Home Nations and the Republic of Ireland have two crunch games, and we of course will provide Headline Offers on all of these matches.

It's the culmination of the cricket season in England, with the County Championship and Yorkshire Bank 40 League up for grabs, while Australia will look to finish their tour on a high after losing the Ashes by getting the better of the hosts in a five-match One Day International series.

The Grand Prix season continues with the Italian GP and Singapore GP; the Drivers' Championship and Constructors' Championship might well be looking like they're all over, but we have a vast array of other markets to provide a bit of value, and we also bet In-Play on a huge range of markets to keep the interest going to the last lap.

In the horse racing world there are some huge races in September; the St Leger Meeting starts on the 11th, The Cambridgeshire takes place on the 28th, in-between these great races though is the William Hill Ayr Gold Cup, which is sure to be a sensational day's racing.

Domestic rugby union is back in September, with the Aviva Premiership and RaboDirect Pro12 kicking-off on the 6th, we'll do Headline Offers on the live action.

Rugby league reaches the play-off stages where Leeds Rhinos will again be fancied to add another Grand Final to their collection - Headline Offers will be produced on every live game up to the Old Trafford showpiece.

The baseball regular season comes to a close, where the likes of Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers will hope to enter the playoffs in tiptop shape as they look to end 20+ years of misery and claim the World Series.

In boxing there are some huge fights as Floyd Mayweather faces the exciting Saul Alvarez, the Battle of Britian is one not to be missed between David Haye and Tyson Fury, with Ricky Burns and Danny Garcia also taking to the ring this month.

The football season continues around Europe after the international break, where we again will offer several Headline Offers on the big TV games, along with full coverage on the Premier League and La Liga.

Also in the football world is the first round of group games in the Champions League and Europa League. With such high profile signings like Neymar and Gareth Bale lining-up in Europe's top competition the action is not to be missed.

If you're not a particularly big sports fan, then the reality TV offering really kicks in to overdrive with the return of the X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing and the continuation of Celebrity Big Brother.

We offer a huge array of markets on these primetime shows as well as In-Play betting when it comes to eviction night.

Summer may be drawing to a close, but the betting action is red-hot during September so make sure you stay with the Home of Betting for all your punting needs.
